Sorry, but it seems there is some problem with this one.  You can check
the PR database for `if_re' and found kern/68514 or kern/84584.  In
particular, i want to point you to mine: kern/80005.  This problem is
encountered from ~2 year now and was reported to me, privately, by
one other user last week.
